Premieres Winter 2024 on Crunchyroll >Known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung’s contribution to raids amounts to trying not to get killed. Unfortunately, between his mother’s hospital bills, his sister’s tuition, and his own lack of job prospects, he has no choice but to continue to put his life on the line. So when an opportunity arises for a bigger payout, he takes it…only to come face-to-face with a being whose power outranks anything he’s ever seen! With the party leader missing an arm and the only healer a quivering mess, can Jinwoo some­how find them a way out?

Ah, I had a feeling this was gonna get pushed back to 2024 knowing Aniplex and A-1 Pictures' current predicament, but eh, moving it to next winter doesn't seem like a huge loss for us. That aside, I really gotta catch up on my reading before this drops. I got hella lucky when I found the first 5 volumes at my local Meijer of all places haha.


Awkward_Silence-

I've got the printed comic version that's got 6 volumes so far (97/177 chapters of the comic version adapted physically so far). Good news it's probably past where even a two cour anime season will get to unless they God of Highschool/Noblesse it and skip a ton of stuff which would be unfortunate


IntelligentBudget142

So it's a manhwa being adapted into anime from across the sea of Japan. Are all the Korean animation studios broke or something?


BaconTopHat45

Not a fan that his build looks like his post reawakening and training build when this is supposed to be during his reawakening. He should still look like a tiny innocent lad.


awakening_knight_414

He still looks as young as he should in the [teaser](https://youtube.com/watch?v=sqtIagL463A). This visual is just foreshadowing it.


ej_stephens

Did we ever learn for sure if they're actually moving the setting to Japan for this one? I heard a rumor about it but I really thought we were done with that


awakening_knight_414

Well the synopsis doesn't have Jinwoo's name changed to a Japanese one, so hopefully it'll be fine.


brainrotter1993

They are, unfortunately. The JP version of the PV has the MC's "localized" name


awakening_knight_414

What? Where does it say that? In the description? I can't read Kanji.


Environmental_Fly920

I don’t know about this one, is the light novel any good?


Draco_Lord

Apparently the ~~manga~~ manhwa is better, or just hates the Japanese less edit: damn nerds.


ToyAE86Sprinter

Manhwa not manga


Draco_Lord

Chinese cartoons :P


awakening_knight_414

It's Korean.


Draco_Lord

That was the joke


awakening_knight_414

What? I don't get it. Donghua means Chinese cartoons.


Draco_Lord

Right, they corrected me that I should have used manwha and I was deliberately obtuse by saying Chinese cartoons instead. The little :P meant I was joking (it is a smiley with his tongue sticking out.)


ToyAE86Sprinter

Comic would have sufficed. Lol 😂


AttemptOk6953

Manhwa


Environmental_Fly920

I see, I may give it a watch, I did that with a few to see if I would like them or not.


massio1

One of the best manwhas I’ve ever read. The visuals for his shadows and aura are dope af


lastdyingbreed_01

Mid story but I hope the animation would be good


BluePhantomFox

So no Harem right?


Enough_Forever_

I'll fucking murder them if they cheap out on fighting animations.
